When you consider the behind the scene nonsense that has led to some of the Veterans Committee selections, I think the writers have done a good job, surprisingly good. The biggest issue I have with the writers is the failure to pull voting rights from writers who clearly violate the trust that’s been given. For example any writer who fails to vote for a player who receives over 95% of the vote on the first ballot (Seaver, Aaron, Brett for instance)should have to justify that vote to a review committee, and the explanation has to make sense (I don’t vote for players ther first year on the ballot makes no sense).
